It’s Masters Week. I have no idea who is gonna win, but it ought to be a wild one. There was a quality brawl between the Braves and Angels. And we’re into the UCL quarterfinals, and Arsenal and Bayern jumped out to leads in their respective ties. Let’s see what happens in the all-Spanish affair and if Liverpool decides to show up against PSG today or roll over like they did this past weekend in the FA Cup. And that’s about it for sports.
Here come the real book banners again. The same people throwing a fit about my two dads or how to suck a dick being moved from the Childrens library at schools are throwing a fit about these timeless morality stories from one of the most popular and most read books in history. Because of course they are.
I wonder if he’ll face any tough questions. I have little confidence he will.
This sounds like a decent idea. But not the best execution. Next time, staff your sting operations appropriately.
At some point, the people who facilitated this need to be held accountable. They’re worse than the bartender who serves a drunk driver. But somehow they don’t suffer the same fate.
Let’s see how long it lasts. My guess is until the Iranian regime decides it’s their mission to kill every Jew in the world again. So probably less than two weeks. I hope I’m wrong.
Damn, this was a heck of a scam. But it’s all over now.
This guy’s political trajectory is going the wrong way. He’ll be running for court clerk in the next decade, I suppose. I guess it never dawned on him that he could go get a real job instead of continuing his lifetime grift tour.
What could possibly go wrong? I wonder if they’ll call the next disease MinnPox in honor of the decision.
This dumbass needs to be out of a job. Rather than blame his mom, what he should do is simple: start trolling BK and make a video of him devouring a whole burger in one bite. It’s social media, not rocket science.
Ah, yes. The Lina Hidalgo gambit. I assume she’s committed some kind of fraud and this is her way of handling it. If you can’t do your government job you should resign.
I haven’t played these guys in too long. Which is a shame. So this will make at least a few of you very happy. Yes, I’m a part of that happy group. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Wednesday, dear friends.
The political committee supporting Charlie Crist should he run for St. Petersburg Mayor, St. Pete Shines, raised more than $475,000 in the first quarter of 2026, bringing the committee’s total collections to more than $1.2 million.
Charlie Crist will always be the first to remind you that he’s not a “politician,” but a “public servant.” But I’ve always wondered why his public service always involves high elective office, instead of him being assistant kennel cleaner at the county pound, or somesuch.
He’s dedicated his life to the people of Florida! A true Everyman.
Then act like a servant instead of someone who thinks he’s our master.
When they say “servant” they mean to their own self-interest.
Servants don’t give orders.
I’d be giving the licensing operation at that location a very, very hard look if I were a prosecutor. There’s a reason a bunch of illegals showed up there, after all.
Maybe we can solve a couple of problems by combining them? How about we take all the illegal truckers and put them to work in the new bathhouses?
The truckers have not place to go to, since the video viewing places just outside of city limits closed
Those would be the Somali Leering Centers.
Halal bath houses no doubt.
If it’s anything like NJ – my local county and as a result the prosecutor’s office – would be in on the turning a blind eye.
Immigration is federal, so, pop the dude at the DMV who lets this slide, and see if he turns. Keep working up the chain.
^^^This. Widespread fraud is widespread fraud, and it doesn’t matter whether the organized crime family is mafia or local government.
Drivers licenses locations are a nexus of illegals.
From KY in 2025: “A former clerk at a Kentucky driver’s licensing branch said co-workers sold illegal immigrants driver’s licenses they couldn’t legally obtain, charging $200 per license.
Melissa Moorman claims the scheme happened four or five times a day for at least two years at multiple branches across the state. According to a whistleblower lawsuit, when Moorman alerted the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to the scam, she was fired.”
We should have ICE in every county office that hands out licenses.
He finally got around to the ultimate “It was someone else’s fault” Mommy raised him wrong! Which at least has the virtue of being likely, spoiled, unaccountable brats are generally from Mommy coddling.
We’re still talking about Trump, right?
Trump was only a McDonalds cashier. I’m talking about the CEO.
A McDonald’s cashier becoming President! What a country!
Ex-con, turning his life around!
Tbh, I thought he had daddy issues, not mommy issues.
*shrug*
I mean absent daddy allows overprotective Mommy so…
On the cease-fire – what I read was the Pakistanis (not the Iranians) asked if Trump would agree to a ceasefire if the Iranians agreed to open Hormuz. Trump said, in essence, “Yeah, if they open Hormuz I’ll stop bombing them for a couple weeks.”
I’m not clear if either (a) the Iranians agreed to do so or (b) the Iranians have actually done so.
So we’re back to where we were 33 or so days ago, except for the death, destruction and many billions spent.
I would posit that the Iranians ability to make mischief has been significantly degraded.
Well, we did decapitate their entire leadership structure 2-3 levels deep. Perhaps its time to see if the people who replaced them want to act civilized or face the same fate.
I thought we did that back in June of last year. I seem to remember…something about big, beautiful, bunker busting bombs and a 15 years setback.
Second verse, same as the first.
A little bit louder and a little bit worse.
I assume the cease fire will hold until the Iranians pull some shit, which should happen within days.
According to X, they pulled shit hours after the agreement.
Exactly. Big missile launch hours later.
So, they were just Pali-ing around?
How about recognizing Oman”s sovereignty over its territorial waters?
I don’t recognize Oman’s Sovereignty over its corner of Arabia.
The best part about the cease fire is all the Democrats complaining about how Trump was going to commit “war crimes” are now bitching and criticizing him for not actually doing it.
That’s been fun.
“War crimes!”
…
“Hah, TACO”
This is one of the biggest contributions X has made to political discourse. We literally have video of people reversing their position within the same afternoon and then whipsawing back the next morning. No actual governing philosophy other than “other side bad”.
Yeah, the weirdest part was NPR was presenting it as if Iran had blinked. I’m sure someone will straighten them out by the drive home.
Trump wrote. “There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process.
Do we really want them reconstructing their nuclear program, missile launchers, and arms factories?
At some point, the people who facilitated this need to be held accountable. They’re worse than the bartender who serves a drunk driver. But somehow they don’t suffer the same fate.
And yet, millions of people actually vote for criminal illegals to be protected. Hell, many of them actually violently protest in favor of protecting these animals.
“But he will fear for his life in Haiti!”
Their safety is more important than the lives of their victims. It really is incredible.
And don’t get me started with TOS about how they are “less violent than Americans”. How to bullshit with statistics.
The image of a bartender is a really good way to frame it. I like that I’m seeing it more.
I’m not sure of the details in these cases, but it the judge is going above and beyond what is considered standard, then they should be held accountable.
I’m very happy.

Also, there is an Albany bathouse that runs adds on fetlife, so I see they often have crossdresser/trans nights so apparently some attendees are pretending they’re banging women anyway.
No, I’ve never been to a bathouse, but I have lived in the demi-monde. I thought everyone knew this?

Deanna DiCastro, 39, and Gillam Cordero, 38, are both accused of managing the sex ring out of four locations across the state — Manhattan, the Bronx, Rome and Utica — between October 2025 and January 2026, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

Doesn’t say how old. Big difference between 7 and 17.
In New York, the age of consent is 17, so I wonder how that interacts with the other charges if we are talking a technical minor as opposed to a “you sicko” minor.
There’s been a local story for the past few years about a guy

While everyone was focused on the Middle East, Republicans in Congress pushed an amnesty bill.
https://revolver.news/2026/04/republican-mike-lawler-leads-push-for-biggest-amnesty-bill-in-us-history/
Remind me again why I should support Republicans?
Because we’re all getting to old to properly manure the Tree?
Yes, weren’t we just talking about how the uniparty isn’t a real thing?
You could support a politician who is against dirty tricks like this. Chances are that person will not be a Democrat.
Doesn’t say what is in the bill.
Sounds like amnesty for any illegal who has been here since 2020 and hasn’t committed any crimes. But, who knows? Sounds pretty on-brand for the Democrat wing of the Republican Party, though.
Of course, many-to-most illegals committed a crime when they crossed the border without a visa (as opposed to overstaying a visa, which is a civil offense). Dunno if they carved out that crime as part of their amnesty package.
My opinion on amnesty is simple –
You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.
I wonder how many of them have deportation orders against them already. Seems like every time the media reports another sob story, there was already a deportation order.
Sounds like amnesty for any illegal who has been here since 2020 and hasn’t committed any crimes.
I’d be more open to this idea if it also included “and hasn’t received any public handouts (including NGO’s).”
Fuck No, Jimbo.

I find it amazing the quantity and duration of the scheme as well as finding buyers for such specialized goods.
You might get away with that once, but there’s no fucking way the wholesaler didn’t know the stuff was stolen when she kept showing up. Reps from Medtronic have exclusive areas and are quite well known to buyers. As is Medtronic’s billing and delivery operation.
“She provided the best discount”
Yeah, no. Medtronic discounts are spelled out in their contracts and are purely volume driven. Yet another red flag.

Lynette Hooker, 55 and her husband, Brian Hooker, 58, left Hope Town’s Abaco Inn at around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, four minutes after the sunset that night on a small boat headed to their yacht in Elbow Cay, according to Bahamian officials.
Brian Hooker reportedly told officials that while the couple were on the smaller boat, known as a dinghy, Lynette fell into the water with the ignition key, causing the engine to shut off. The current carried her away, according to Brian, who paddled back to a marina at Marsh Harbor. He reported Lynette missing at around 4:00 a.m. on Sunday.
1. Love that dinghy needs to be defined here.
2. Sure, nothing suspicious about the key being taken while falling overboard.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/american-couple-chasing-retirement-dream-bahamas-boating-mystery-inexperienced-friend
She somehow grabbed the key while falling overboard?
Did it take him until 4:00 am to paddle back to the marina?
A lot of boat keys are tied to the user so that the boat can’t just drive off if they fall out. It was tied to her wrist.
On something like a wave runner you clip an ignition cut onto your body. That way if you go overboard it kills the engine.
I suppose you could do similar on a dinghy outboard, but back in the day when I grew up on boats and the water it didn’t exist. When you spun the key in the ignition it stays in the ignition. You have to turn it off to remove it. No idea on an out board made after 2000.
Small outboard motors (and big ones too) nowadays have a kill switch on a lanyard that you’re supposed to attach to your arm or wrist, so if you fall overboard the motor motor cuts off, actually a good safety feature. Not sure if that’s relevant for this story, not enough information.
Good to know. Although it sounds like you may have actually clicked through and read the link.
I’m confirming what Sandman said. The actual outboard motor usually has no key, just the safety lanyard. So if it was just a tiller steering setup, the story makes no sense.
I’m guessing that the boat probably had a console in it. That has a throttle and steering wheel in it. Those do have keys to keep them from being stolen. They also have a lanyard.
The picture shown in the story was a tiller setup.
I haven’t played these guys in too long.

Eyewitnesses who were required to take an oath were more likely to tell the truth, even when it would have been in their best interest to lie.
Eyewitness testimony is the most powerful form of evidence in a court of law. But eyewitnesses also lie, and false testimony is the primarily cause of wrongful convictions. While prior work emphasizes eyewitness reliability, little is known about whether courtroom procedures like the oath increase truthfulness. The present study aimed to examine whether a mandatory oath, similar to those used in criminal procedures, can reduce deception among eyewitnesses

““If you hate your wife, it’s a lot easier to justify exploiting her unpaid labor for your own personal gain,” she told me. “With our modern sensibilities, we might think of love as the point of marriage.” But traditional marriage was about male power, she explained, which included “exploiting wives’ domestic labor, forcing them to bear children and using them as emotional or physical punching bags.” Underneath all the happy trappings of tradwife content is a longing to return to a time when women had no rights inside a marriage. Actual love for a “traditional” wife, Calarco concluded, gets in the way of a man “accepting the perks of patriarchy.””

“Some of PragerU’s content is relatively non-partisan, like its financial literacy courses, videos about sports legends, and portions of its history materials. McCarthy believes this seemingly uncontroversial material attracts students and educators. From there, though, PragerU acts as a “gateway organization” that surreptitiously brings radical beliefs into mainstream culture and may eventually lead students even further to the right. (Streit said PragerU is “not shy about our worldview”, and she questioned why its critics have not similarly scrutinized legacy education companies such as Scholastic.)”

By saying that capitalism restricts freedom, I am not introducing a new, radical idea. This has been documented at length by scholars such as Marx, Luxemburg, Polanyi, Harvey, and Stiglitz, to name a few.
A common thread across these thinkers is the distinction between formal freedom (legal rights) and real freedom (the actual capacity to act). Capitalism often undermines real freedom for those without property, capital, or high incomes.
In highly capitalistic societies, such as the United States, real freedom is curtailed for most people by paywalling access to things like affordable housing, education, and healthcare. Real freedom is further limited for the same group of people by lack of public investment in infrastructure, transport, and social services.
This is not saying that societies with a stronger socialist bent do not curtail any freedoms. All societies do. But the societies that regulate capitalism more strongly tend to provide greater real freedom for ordinary people.

“A children’s hospital in Minnesota will be resuming all sex change procedures for children who believe they are of the opposite sex after the programs came to a halt on February 27. The decision follows the publishing of a massive Finnish study that showed psychiatric problems for trans-identified youth did not subside after they got sex change procedures.
The decision to reverse the pause came as a result of a federal court ruling in March that overturned an attempt to stop sex change procedures for minors, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Children’s Minnesota said in a statement, “Offering science- and research-based health care to transgender and gender diverse youth is part of Children’s Minnesota’s vision of being every family’s essential partner in raising healthier children.”

The people’s choice
A clear plurality of New York City residents approve of the job Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is doing as he approaches his 100th day in office, according to a new poll from the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.
In the survey, conducted throughout the last week in March, 48 percent of New Yorkers say they approve of the city’s first democratic socialist mayor, while 30 percent say they disapprove of his job performance. Another 23 percent say they’re not sure.
I’m convinced.

No public grievances were disclosed by the board prior to Rothman’s firing. However, he sent two letters to the board to request a reason for finding no confidence in his leadership after he was first asked to resign, the AP reported.
“When I asked you to articulate reasons for the Board’s conclusion and apparent lack of confidence in me, you merely noted that each Regent has his or her own perspective on the matter,” Rothman wrote in a March 26 letter to the board president, according to the wire.
“You did not provide any tangible reasons for the Board’s determination,” he added.
At-will employment is okay when we do it.
Asking to resign should be an informal tap on the shoulder in the hallway. Any letter should be a straight up, today is your last day, here’s what you get. And security right there to take any badges or keys and escort off property.

You can see this gap in today’s policy debates, where regulators and public health leaders are grappling with how to balance youth prevention with harm reduction for adults. Even as smoking rates fall to historic lows, parts of the U.S. policy framework still support tobacco production — a reminder that the systems built around nicotine have not evolved as quickly as the behaviors they were designed to address.
These debates often focus on specific products rather than the bigger picture of how nicotine is actually used today. The more important question is what it takes to help people quit in a world where nicotine no longer comes in just one form.
The challenge now for researchers, clinicians and policymakers is to rethink how we approach cessation. This does not mean abandoning the progress of tobacco control or minimizing the risks associated with emerging nicotine products. Protecting young people from nicotine addiction remains a critical priority. But the next chapter will require a deeper focus on how nicotine dependence works — how it develops, how it persists and how it changes as nicotine delivery evolves.
How would the states replace the money tobacco brings in?
Legal pot enters the chat.
At least it’s not his brother, Pol.
Too easy to grow pot.
Can’t tax it if you allow the rubes to grow it themselves.
Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo.
Just rule that everyone with the legal capability to grow is growing some arbitrary minimum quantity and levy the pot tax based upon that assessment.
“Freedom’s just another word for not having to pay your bills…”
Unfortunately, freedom is just another word meaning nothing. I gave a talk yesterday, “Voices of the Founding Fathers.” I concluded with a remark that America only succeeds when “people work hard and behave responsibly. ” That got a few vigorous nods from a couple of the known AWFLs in the audience. The same AWFLS who, a year and a half ago, were loudly proclaiming the glory of Biden’s attempt to forgive student loans.
Words have meanings to you and I. For progs, words are just mouth noises.
They probably interpreted “people work hard and behave responsibly” as “pay your taxes so you can pay for other people’s stuff”.

Plan of action
Democrats can start by embracing a little common-sense populism.
Millions of Americans have seen their chances of buying a home evaporate thanks to greedy Wall Street firms that are driving up housing prices nationwide by paying above market prices for single-family homes. Democrats should own the issue by proposing a federal law blocking the nation’s financial fat cats from sucking up the housing supply — and by imposing tougher taxes on the firms that hold massive portfolios of residential properties. That tax revenue should go back to regular Americans in the form of a credit that allows them to purchase their first home.
By all means focus your energies on imaginary Big Business plots to buy up all the houses.
Money printing had nothing to do with it.
My, what a miscarriage of justice it is that old Auntie Emma got “more than market price” for her house.
Have no fear, Mayor Z is going to show everyone the benefits of democratic socialism as soon as Kathy approves the tax increases to make those fatcats pay for it.
Paradoxically, that means centering Trump less in the national conversation. Trump should be treated like the ineffective and slightly pathetic lame-duck president he is. Democrats’ vision of leadership must look beyond their opposition to Trump and toward a positive vision of Democratic leadership in a post-Trump political world.
Democratic Socialism. Real solutions for real problems. A unicorn in every pot.
